PIZZA PINWHEELS

Other than having to fool with the crescent roll dough, which isn't really all that hard, this is really quick and easy to put together. Refrigerated pizza dough can be used but I'd roll it out thinner or you'll wind up with really puffy Pinwheels. These are great for make ahead party appetizers - just keep them in the fridge and...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 can(s) pillsbury crescent rolls
2 c shredded mozzarella cheese
24 slice pepperoni, or 72 mini peperoni
1 can(s) (14 oz) pizza sauce
shredded parmesan for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). On a large baking sheet, lined with parchment paper (optional), and pinch the 8 crescent roll dough triangles into 4 rectangles.
  • 2. Spread a medium layer of pizza sauce over the top of each crescent dough almost to the edges. Layer each rectangle with 6 slices of pepperoni, or 18 mini pepperoni.
  • 3. Spread 1/4 cup cheese evenly over the top almost to the edges, (it will spread out).
  • 4. Roll tightly lengthwise and slice each into 4 or 5 pieces.
  • 5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Put the pizza sauce in a microwave safe bowl and heat through just until hot. Stir well and sprinkle shredded Parmesan on the top. Serve the Pinwheels with the pizza sauce for dipping.
  • 6. *OPTIONS: Instead of Pepperoni, use crumbled browned sausage, ground beef, canadian bacon, cooked bacon, shredded chicken. For Vegetarian, put sauteed onions or bell peppers, banana peppers, sliced olives, mushrooms, thinly sliced banana peppers, zucchini, etc. If using chicken, use an alfredo sauce instead of pizza sauce and use ricotta or a parmesan & mozzarella cheese blend for the cheese topping. Try a basil pesto on the side for dipping. Try shredded bbq chicken or bbq beef with grilled or sauteed onions and cheese but don't use any sauce on the dough. Experiment with different cheese like cheddar, pepper jack, colby jack, or swiss, and a variety of salsas, marinara, cheese sauces, creamy salad dressings, bbq sauces, or even flavored olive oil dipping sauces.

Tips:

- Use freshly made pizza dough or store-bought dough for the best results. If using store-bought dough, let it come to room temperature before using. - Roll out the dough thinly to ensure even cooking. - Use a variety of fillings to create different flavor combinations. Popular options include cheese, pepperoni, ham, bacon, sausage, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. - Be generous with the fillings, but not so much that the pinwheels become difficult to roll. - Brush the edges of the dough with water to help seal them. - Bake the pinwheels in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. - Serve the pinwheels warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Pizza pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack that are perfect for parties and potlucks. They can be made with a variety of fillings to suit any taste. With a little creativity, you can create endless flavor combinations that will please everyone. So next time you're looking for a fun and tasty snack, give pizza pinwheels a try!
